Priyanka attended San Jose State University, where she studied software engineering. One summer, she took an internship with HP, enjoying it so much that she continued into the following fall and subsequent spring. By graduation, Priyanka and the company had become so fond of one another that she was offered a full-time position.

Priyanka arrives in the office around 9:30 AM, in time for the department scrum meeting. Together, the team discusses what features they’re currently working on and any issues they may be facing. Afterward, it’s continual coding sessions and maintenance interspersed with breaks to ask for assistance or provide help to her team in return.
